Ovulation: If you are not having regular cycles, you are likely not ovulating regularly. If you're not ovulating, odds are lower for pregnancy to occur spontaneously. If you are trying to conceive and you're not ovulating, you may want to see a gynecologist to investigate underlying causes as many are easily corrected.
